Introduction
Introduction
NOTE: WABCO TOOLBOX Software is used for diagnosing the Meritor
WABCO Hydraulic ABS (HABS) and Hydraulic Power Brakes (HPB) systems on
the Ford F650/F750 medium duty trucks. This user manual has been modified
from its original version to reflect the usage of WABCO TOOLBOX on the Ford
IDS system.
Meritor WABCO TOOLBOX Software provides diagnostic capabilities for
Meritor WABCO tractor and trailer pneumatic ABS, hydraulic ABS, the electronic
leveling module (ELM) for both tractor and trailer and Electronically Controlled Air
Suspensions (ECAS) for buses. The program provides four basic functions:
Displays both constant (e.g., ECU number) and changing (e.g., RPMs)
information from the system under test.
Displays both active and stored system faults, as well as the appropriate
repair instructions.

NOTE: Before connecting the vehicle to the computer, bleed the circuit and
master cylinder. Follow the standard bleed procedures used by your facility, or
use the procedures listed in the F650/F750 Workshop Manual.
WARNING
Failure to bleed the system whenever any hydraulic system fitting is
loosened or disconnected will allow air to remain in the system. This will
prevent the hydraulic pressure in the brake system from rising enough to
apply the brakes correctly. This will cause the stopping distance to
increase and can result in serious personal injury.
Correctly discard hydraulic brake fluid that is removed from the brake
system. Hydraulic brake fluid that is removed can be contaminated and can
cause damage, loss of braking and serious personal injury.
Use only the type of hydraulic brake fluid specified by the equipment
manufacturer. Do not use or mix different types of hydraulic brake fluid.
The wrong hydraulic brake fluid will damage the rubber parts of the brake
caliper and can cause damage, loss of braking and serious personal injury.
Do not let the brake master cylinder fluid get below the minimum level
during the bleeding operation. Keep the master cylinder reservoir filled
with new DOT-approved brake fluid, as specified by the original equipment
manufacturer. Failure to keep the brake reservoir level above minimum
could result in more air entering system, making it impossible to effectively
bleed the system.
NOTE: Use DOT 3 or DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid. Refer to the vehicle
specifications to determine which fluid to use.
CAUTION
Hydraulic brake fluid is a caustic substance. Contact with hydraulic brake
fluid can cause skin irritation. Do not let hydraulic brake fluid touch any
painted surfaces, as it will remove the paint. Hydraulic brake fluid may also
damage certain non-metal surfaces. Do not let fluid get on brake pads,
shoes, rotors or disks.
1. Apply the parking brake and block the tires. Turn the ignition off.
2. Perform brake bleed procedure for wet module, bleeding the circuit and
master cylinder if required, prior to connecting laptop to truck.
3. Connect the IDS laptop to the vehicle using the 9 pin (Deutsch) diagnostic
connector in the cab of the truck.
4. Launch Meritor WABCO TOOLBOX Diagnostic Software.
5. From the Main Menu select the HABS icon.
6. Select End of Line from the HABS Main Menu.

10. Repeat procedure two additional times on this axle. This should eliminate all
of the air in the chamber.
11. Perform manual bleed on this axle.
12. Repeat Steps 8-11 for the other axle.
13. Test drive the vehicle after bleeding the brakes.
If a firm brake pedal resistance is felt and the brake pedal pushes back
when you perform an ABS stop, the system bleed procedure is complete.
If there is no firm pedal resistance, check the brake system for defects
(leaks, etc.) and make the necessary repairs, then repeat the bleed
procedure.
